Why do anime characters call out their moves? I know it’s for the audience mostly, but in a practical battle, let’s say One Sword Style is a move or something, great… now I can do something that counters that.

Oh man. There was a recurring bit-character – Hak Foo – on Jackie Chan Adventures that was based around this trope. He was actually somewhat effective, despite always calling out his attacks, and down-right scary when he hooked up with another villain who made him quit doing that.

Depending on the anime calling out the move/attack is a lot like the verbal spell component of a spell, it helps in focusing their energy into that specific move/attack. It’s why like in the Dragonball series certain attacks seem to require calling out the attack or at least focusing on the phrase and mentally rehearsing it to unleash it. It’s actually required for the move to be effective.

Agggg- guys, the vein is the low pressure vessel. The artery is the high pressure one that you don’t want to get cut. Don’t get them confused. Kade did not have fountains of blood flying everywhere, so he probably just sliced the skin, okay with some bandaging.

I made a simular mistake recently. I had ordered a tiny LEGO claymore sword from Amazon. It is less flexible then regular LEGO swords and the tip is almost as sharp as a pin. I thought it would be a good addition to the armory in my nephew’s LEGO castle but now I think not. Maybe someday when he is a bit older we can add it as a cursed sword the castle is protecting from getting into the wrong hands.
